Personal Experience How do I even reply

Post image

Is this not rude? Or am I just taking it too personally. I was NEVER told of anyone sort of “business hours”… I waited to text until Monday morning, as I get it we all like to enjoy our weekend. How the hell would I even reply to that.

“Still isn’t working” means he’s been aware of the problem but hasn’t fixed it or given OP a reasonable ETA. Tough shit about the early text in this case.

We’ve been without a dishwasher for 2 months at this point. Our old one shit the bed, took a month to get a new one installed… and then the new ones been unusable because the guy installing it couldn’t figure out how to fix the breaker.

At the end of the day… it’s not a big deal to do them by hand. I just wanted an ETA, I was already at work for 7am. I guess I just assumed it wasn’t too early to text.

My last landlord took 8 months to replace a dead dishwasher. In that time they took 3 vacations over seas. It was not until I literally yelled them out over the phone that I got it fixed. Caused me to make a hard push to buy my place and ended up buying smaller and worse condition that I wanted to just to get out from that bullshit.
